What is a strap on dildo?
A strap-on dildo consists of a dildo or a vibrator that is attached to a harness - that is worn around the waist or hips. The harness is typically made of fabric or leather and has straps that can be adjusted to fit the wearer's body.

The harness allows the wearer to have greater control over the dildo's movements. Moreover, it can be used to provide additional stimulation to the wearer's genitals.

Strap-on dildos can be used for a variety of sexual activities, including vaginal and anal penetration, and can be used by couples of any gender pairing. Some strap-on dildos also have a vibrating function to provide additional stimulation to the wearer and the partner.

How do I choose the right strap-on dildo for me and my partner?

Choosing the right strap-on dildo for you and your partner can be a personal and intimate process, as there are many factors to consider. Here are some things to keep in mind when selecting a strap-on dildo:

Size and shape

Choose a size that you and your partner are comfortable with and that fits your desired level of penetration. If you are new to strap-on play, you may want to start with a smaller size to ease into it.

Material

Strap-on dildos come in various materials, such as silicone, rubber, or jelly. Consider the material's texture, flexibility, and ease of cleaning.

Compatibility

Make sure that the dildo is compatible with your harness and that it will stay in place during use.

Vibrating or non-vibrating

Decide whether you want a strap-on dildo with a vibrating function or not. A vibrating dildo can add extra stimulation for both the wearer and the receiver.

Comfort

Choose a harness that is comfortable and adjustable to fit your body. A comfortable harness will allow you to focus on the experience without any discomfort or distraction.

Communication

Communication with your partner is essential. Discuss your desires, preferences, and any concerns you may have. Be open to trying new things and adjust as needed.

Overall, choosing the right strap-on dildo requires careful consideration of your preferences, comfort, and compatibility. By taking these factors into account, you and your partner can find a strap-on dildo that meets your needs and enhances your sexual experience.

Can it be used for both vaginal and anal penetration?

Yes, strap-on dildos can be used for both vaginal and anal penetration. However, keep in mind that anal penetration requires more care and preparation than vaginal penetration. Before engaging in anal penetration, it is recommended to use plenty of water-based lubricants, start with smaller toys or fingers, and communicate with your partner to ensure comfort and safety. 

It is also recommended to use different dildos for vaginal and anal penetration, as the shape and size of the dildo may differ depending on the area being stimulated. Some strap-on dildos are designed specifically for anal penetration and have a flared base or a smaller size, while others are designed for vaginal penetration and have a more curved shape or a larger size. Always make sure to choose a dildo that is safe and comfortable for both partners.
